Name:	Dahab
Description:	The best diving sites are just outside of town. The most famous - and dangerous - is the Blue Hole, a 220-foot-deep pool in the reef, only a few feet from shore. This dive claims the lives of a number of divers every year due to nitrogen narcosis or improper use of equipment. Dive cautiously and you might be counted among the thousands that do not experience problems. The Canyon is a popular dive, although challenging for the inexperienced diver. From shore, you must snorkel along the reef before diving past a wall of coral to the edge of The Canyon, and into a cavern under the sea bed. This cavern, formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago, is home to hard and soft corals. The dive site named the Huts (also known as Abu Talha) displays huge corals in the shallows, with abundant marine life and unusual formations. This dive is appropriate for all levels and is regularly combined with a drift dive to Abu Helal, 2.5 miles north of Dahab.
